Every student should buy an athletic ticket. ___
In an unsuspecting moment we appointed a man, whom we deemed worthy, to the position as assistant editor-in-chief. Now that same young man has taken unto himself the colors of a fraternity.
The selection of Miss Agnes Lee for editor of the senior class annual was a good one. Miss Lee has been associated with the WEEKLY for the past two years and in all her work has shown more than ordinary ability. The success of the annual is assured.
There is a report that a University band is to be organized in the University this fall. We should have one. Nothing would so urge our boys on to victory on McBook field as a band playing in the grand stand. And there are a number of other University events where a band would be welcome addition.
At Baker they are talking of base ball for next spring. The Orange says: "Now that there is no football here nor any dream of it any longer, the entire attention of athletic men should be turned upon athletic games that can be played." What will Baker do without the exciting games of "thumbs up" with which she whiled away the winter months of last year?
Those "rickety-rous" which are heard every evening and last until the wee small hours of the night are the juvenile expressions of joy which our fraternities give in the event of "roping in" a new man. The evident appreciation of the member may fell him with pride and high importance for a time, but later he will realize his true position and find that he is classed only with the common run of fraternity men.
The sale of athletic tickets for the coming year is on. Every student should purchase one of these tickets. He owes it to himself and to the school. The price of the ticket is much below the sum of admission to all the games. An unusually good series of games will be played this year, Nebraska, Ames and perhaps one or two others, and then there is a number of ball games in the spring. The Athletic association is still in debt. A heroic effort was made last year to pay this but owing to bad weather, the series of ball games received poor crowds. There is no better opportunity to show your loyalty to the University than to buy one of these tickets and go out and yell for the boys.
Application and enthusiasm should be the attributes of every college student. Application to studies makes the path of college life an easy one. Enthusiasm makes the school progress. An interest in college enterprise, the support of college representatives in' the various contests of the college year, and an individual desire to do something for the school yourself, create college spirit. If you cannot play football or take part in debate and oratory, you can at least aid those who do. This year's football team needs your support. There is nothing which so stimulates a man to effort as the presence of a number of his associates. Practice on
the field will be much more earnest if watched by a number of students. The team is new this year. Defeat at the opening of the season would have its evil effect, perhaps upon a whole series of games. So give the team your hefty support. Make it win.
The Senior class election is over, and much ill feeling is present. Not merely over the defeat of certain candidates, but on account of the way in which it was done, although it is generally acknowledged that the successful candidate is as good, or perhaps better than either of the others. The split in the class at this time of the year, is unfortunate. It is detrimental to its best interests. There should be unity at any cost. All's fair in war" should be a comfort to the disappointed ones, and a feeling of fellowship should pervade the whole class.
William Allen White of the Emporia Gazette never misses an opportunity to criticise the University. He has been at it again this summer. To most men the memory of college day is the most pleasant of all. They honor the institutions and look with pride on the progress of their alma mater. Not so with Mr. White. He never misses an opportunity to cast some slur at the University. A man with such talents as _he possesses should not occupy his time in groundless criticism when he might be writing words that would build up a monument to his memory.
The existence and success of the WEEKLY is made possible only by the liberal patronage of its advertisers. These men are the ones who compose the prominent and energetic business class, and they treat their customers right. If, then, our advertisers give us the WEEKLY, we should at least give them the consideration of reading their ads and giving them the first chance for our trade. It will save us money and discharge and obligation which we owe them to reciprocate their support. When an advertiser asks if you read his announcement in the WEEKLY, do not, be forced to say that you have not, but show him that you appreciate his good will toward the student's paper.
University Geological Expedition.
The party consisted of Prof. S. W. Williston, A. Stewart, A. W. Beede and Sydney Prentiss. During the one month the party was out it made explorations chiefly in the Smoky Hill river and west to the state line. Special attention was given to the exploration of uppermost cretaceous which had never before been examined. Prof. Williston shipped back something like a ton of boxed specimens, the most important of which were from the Pierre Cretaceous including a number of fishes turtles and saurians, new to the University and to science. The most interesting specimen found was a nearly complete skeleton of a Mososaur with bones nearly in position, skin preserved for the most part with contents of stomach. This is in large slabs and will be mounted this winter and placed in the museum. The only other one known is one found by Chancellor Snow. This one promises to be superior to the other in all respects. Fully half of the material found will be placed in the museum and will furnish material for papers for professors, assistants and students.
Class Election.
They're standing round, those Seniors are
The under grades are frowned upon.
Should they not hasten past.
They're on the steps in anxious groups,
Rach with a scowling brow;
And talking very fast
The snap of talks that float the halls,'
Are full of politics;
The "Junior Barbs" in "No. 12."
Oh, those are trials
For who is false, and who is true?
It's class election now.
The Masque.
No, oh, those I have. And "No, I have not pledged my votes—"
But bless me, what a row?
Why all this clamor, all this noise?
Why all this clamor, all this noise?
I please stop now.
It's class election now. —C.G.L.
The dramatic society of the University met at North college Wednesday evening. Prof. Vickery gave a short talk, which was very much appreciated. Three dramas are in progress and will be presented soon. This is composed of the University people.
The Same Old Story.
"Found at last!" said the Freshman, as he pounced into Prof. Adam's room where the professor was hearing a class recite, "Why I have hunted for you everywhere." That particular Freshman hadn't been in Lawrence but a week until he had located all his professors.

SOCIETY.
The season just passed has been like every other one—different people doing the same old things. There has been the same round of teas, receptions and hops, the same triumphs and the same regrets.
The rushing season with its triumphs and heartburnings is virtually over and the over-worked fraternity man can now begin to think of his studies. To the Barb, who is a Barb from principal and not necessity, the rushing season is very amusing, but to the fra man it is a very serious time on the success or non-sucess of which depends the standing of his fraternity through the year.
Among the women's fraternities the Kappa Alpha Theta has led in the number of new girls pledged. The new wearers of the black and gold are Miss Rachel Pugh of Independence, and Misses Marie Nelson, Pearl Constable and Nina Drake all of Kansas City, Missouri.
The Pi Beta Phis are very proud of three new girls who wear the wine and blue. They are Miss Mame Spencer, of Lawrence, Miss Loren Leslie, of Hutchinson and Miss Florence Hawk, of Abilene.
The Kappas also are wearing the two blues for three new members. Miss Esther Wilson, of this city, Miss Edith Parker, of Minneapolis, and Miss Jane Harmon, of Ohio.
Among the men's fraternities, the season has been more productive. The men of Phi Kappa Psi are very proud of three acquisitions: M, Hutchings, of Kansas City, and Messrs. Hale, Hamilton and Rob Garver, of Topeka.
The Phi Delta Theta has the largest number of new men, and are wearing colors for Messrs. Jewett, Murphy of Colorado; Mize of Aitchison; Bowen of Independence and McMath of Fort Scott.
Not less to be congratulated is Phi Gamma Delta, who claim Messrs.Cochran, of Plainville, Sinclair, of Independence, and Reitz, of Topeka.

His Conscience.
Mr. Charles Gleed recently went through several of the army hospitals near New York. He found one in charge of a young Kansas man, Dr. Ernest Robinson, son of the late Professor D. H. Robinson, of the state university. Dr. Robinson left a Boston hospital to take up this work and is giving it his enthusiastic and undivided attention. Mr. Gleed says he skurinized the camps as closely as he knew how for the purpose of finding something wrong. In every instance he found the best of sanitary arrangements. The water supply is the same as that used in the city. The cooking was first-class and the tents had double tops and elevated wooden floors. The camp where Dr. Robinson is located (Hamilton) has the personal care and attention of Miss Helen Gould, who supplies everything needed, which is not supplied in the regular way. -Lawrence journal.
A member of the Senior class, at a former election openly refused to support any member of the class for the class presidency, whom he knew cheated in examinations. And now it is reported that this same fellow did borrow a theme and appropriate the entire contents of the same unto himself. That he copied said theme and handed it into the English department t and received thereon a passing grade, His crime has found him out!
UNIVERSITY BOOK STORE.
Finest line of footwear ever shown in Lawrence at Catlin & Knox's Shoe Store, 823 Massachusetts street. All kinds of repairing neatly done.
A Poor Job.
The chapel has been repaired and repainted but as to the improvement there is some question. Formerly there was a monotonous sameness about the dingy colored walls; but now the bright tints through which lurk unlightly spots of black are almost as unpleasing to the eye.
FOR MEN
Miss Hill has become society editress o the Lawrence Journal.

How It's Done.
Sigma Chi!—Hello girls, I'm on to something! I's a great catch! Say there is a peach of a girl coming from Kansas city and she's got the mon!
Ph Fi Phis (in chorus): Is--There? Honest? Sigma Chi--Yes! She came in this morning and she's down at the Eldridge now with her papa. Say she's swell! You want her, too. I made an acquaintance with her at the junction in K. C. O-o, o-o! And the coin that she got.
Pt Phi:—Say girls let's take her to the ball game this afternoon. We'll get her all right. Wonder what her pa looks like! Sigma Chi:—I'll speak a good word for you.
Pi Phis—(trripping away) Well, we're off. You sure she has the money?
Sigma Chi:—Yes, she dresses out of sight.
Pi Phi—and at the Eldridge house too! Hurry girls.
